Not sure if you missed this Huang.I thought it was quite a solid contribution.I've played around with these path dynamics quite alot and they arevery clean.Still, the discrete space model fails some fundamental physicalcorrespondence.There is a lack of resolution in rotating say my coffee mug by 0.001degrees, or ten degrees for that matter. Shouldn't we accept that themug retains its structure? This then requires the full continuum, andso the discrete model cannot be engaged fully. This puts us back usingcontinuous magnitude within the problems, and I see no Planck motivefrom the representational level. This is somewhat why I opened with aquery on your own Planck motive. I have none. To me something aboutinterdimensional/multidimensional behaviors will be more appropriateto getting toward discrete phenomena.
